LIGHT & SHADOW - A LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTION

I’m launching my first book through Kickstarter, and with your support, “Light and Shadow” will be A collection, limited to just 500 copies, of my best landscape images drawn from over twenty years of photographing some of the planet´s most beautiful wild places, gathered together for the first time in a BEAUTIFUL coffee table book. So if you’ve enjoyed my photography then I really hope you’ll help me in supporting this book by pledging to buy one on the Kickstarter Campaign

TIt’s taken me around twenty years to do it, but after two decades of travelling the world searching for dynamic light on some of the planet’s most beautiful landscapes, I’m collecting my favourite images together in a book for the first time.

Creating this book has been a labor of love, something I’ve wanted to do for many years but as life and photography work kept me busy, I was never able to find the time I wanted to dedicate to putting a book together.  However, earlier this year I finally set aside a few months to curate my best images into a collection that flows naturally from dynamic light sweeping across mountains and deserts to soft mist flowing through valleys in the early morning, grand vistas to more intimate and minimal scenes, the baking hot sun of Namibian deserts to the freezing snow of Hokkaido in winter.

The book is arranged into five sections, each one highlighting a different aspect of the natural world: Mountains, Deserts, Water, Trees and the Human Landscape, which features landscapes where mankind’s touch in the shape of cabins or temples has shaped the scene. The ninety nine images are collected from my visits to some of the most breathtaking corners of the planet.  The mountains of the Italian Dolomites and Patagonia, the contrasting deserts of Iceland’s Highlands, Namibia and the US Southwest, the snowy extremes of Norway’s Lofoten Islands and Hokkaido in Japan, the misty plains of Indonesia and Myanmar, the rolling hills of Tuscany and the misty trees of the Pacific North West are all featured here as well as many more, all carefully selected to showcase the different elements of the landscape and also arranged to ensure that the book flows across its pages.

The result is a book I’m truly proud of and one I hope you’ll also greatly enjoy spending time within pages that highlight the incredible natural beauty of this planet alongside years of refining my creative eye, photography craft and love of the wild landscape into a collection of images that represents both a retrospective of my work and a love letter to the natural beauty of the planet we live on.

The book is a large coffee table book measuring 33cm by 27,5cm with 144 pages and over 100 images printed on 150gsm matt art paper, and will be available in a Standard Edition (450 copies planned) and Limited Edition (50 copies).  

The Limited Edition comes presented in a beautiful cloth covered presentation box with the title foil stamped and an image inlaid, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed and numbered by Andy Mumford.

HOW CAN I BUY THE BOOK?

Printing a limited run of a large fine art photography book with high quality printing and paper is an expensive project and I need to raise money to make it happen. To do this I’m running a Kickstarter campaign where you can order the book by making a “pledge” to buy it. You simply need to click on the link below to go to the book’s Kickstarter page, choose which version of the book you want in the “Rewards” section on the right hand side of the page, and click “pledge” You’ll have ordered the book, and as long as I reach the Kickstarter target, the book will go into production and be shipped to you as soon as it’s ready. You can find all the information on the book, shipping and production timings, and customers who’ve ordered the book by make a pledge will get regular updates on the progress of the book.

Quite simply, I can't do this without you.  I’ve been incredibly lucky to be supported in my photography through people joining me for workshops, watching my YouTube channel or buying prints, and for this, my first and possible only book, I need your help to make it a reality.  

With your support, Light and Shadow will be a beautifully printed collection of my landscape photography images gathered together for the first time in a stunning book.
